Was trying to print some images yesterday. I have all the possible profiles for the R800 for the paper I use viz Premium Glossy Photo Paper. I previously have tried twice to create a profile using GretagMacbeth's Eye One Photo too. These are also readily available in Photoshop for me to use.
I tried the R800 profiles first using print with preview profile and then following everything as per suggestions which I have read so many times on other forums.
Bad results, then tried the R800 profiles from the US site. Same bad results. Mind you all the time I was assign and converting the images to the profile before printing. Finally i tried each and every profile from the drop down menu incl profiles for Sony and Wide Gamut RGB and Apple RGB etc around 20 of them, finally getting some acceptable results with the Wide Gamut RGB. I knew all this didn't make any sense and I that I was definitely doing something wrong. I got fed up and copied the images and drove down to my regular printer. And guess what lousy results from him too. Worst then the ones I had got on the R800. Anyway to cut a long story short, I have three options 1) Throw the printer away and never print 2) Get guidance from someone who has a lot of patience and 3) Get profiles made professionally . Since I have gathered tonnes of printing paper and wouldn't want to just throw it away have decided on option three.
Can someone guide me where I can get a profile made professionally, not very expensive and with good technical support for it too.
Will appreciate all advice.
